Max Calculation Items in a Calculation Group

I have a calculation group with a large number of calculated items. It seems the maxtrix I am using this in is only showing the first 24 calculated items of the calc group. Is there a cap of displayed calculated items?

Hi @jw9110 ,

 

Power BI visuals like the Matrix may only display up to 24 calculation items from a calculation group, even though this limit isn’t officially documented. If you have more than 24 items, the rest may be hidden due to rendering or internal limitations. To work around this, you can split the calculation group into smaller ones, or allow users to select a subset via a slicer or field parameter. Alternatively, create a custom table with individual measures and unpivot the data for display. If layout space is tight, try enlarging the Matrix or simplifying the row/column structure.

 

Best regards,

Hi @jw9110 ,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Instead of using a single large calculation group, consider splitting your logic into multiple calculation groups. For example, you can create a Time Intelligence Group (YTD, MTD, QTD, etc.) to handle date-based calculations separately. Additionally, where possible, consolidate similar calculations by leveraging SELECTEDMEASURE() to reduce the number of calculation items.

To improve usability, rather than displaying all calculation items at once, you can allow users to select a subset using a slicer, ensuring better performance and a more focused analysis.

If this post was helpful, please give us Kudos and consider marking Accept as solution to assist other members in finding it more easily.

Thank you
